Sweltering in Sweden.

BENGTSFORS.

Call in at the local supermarket to spend the last of our NOK coin. The bill comes to 92 and we have 96 so we have to put the rice cakes back. The Norwegian tolls catch us for 80p on our last stretch.

Into Sweden with a bang as I misread a severe speedbump.

Stop at Krakviken for lunch and a swim. The van temperature gauge registers 32 degrees and it certainly feels like it.

Travel on to Bengtfors, town by the lake. Walk down to the canal in time to see the bridge turntable move. Rosie gets told off for walking on the grass.

Buy alcohol at a reasonable price, hurrah! Park4night points us to a rest stop by another part of the lake.

Talk to a tortured woman who stops for a bite to eat. She's driving around sleeping in her car whilst looking for a place to settle down. She's been living in a refuge for 15 year's and feels that It's time to move on. Wide ranging conversation including literature and wildlife.
